CONECA (pronounced: CŌ´NECA) is a national numismatic organization devoted to the education of error and variety coin collectors. CONECA focuses on many error and variety specialties, including doubled dies, Repunched mintmarks, multiple errors, clips, double strikes, off-metals and off-centers—just to name a few. In addition to its website, CONECA publishes an educational journal, The Errorscope, which is printed and mailed to members bimonthly. CONECA offers a lending library, examination, listing and attribution services; it holds annual meetings at major conventions (referred to as Errorama) around the country.

CONECA was formed through a merger of CONE and NECA in early 1983. To learn more about the fascinating HISTORY OF THE ERROR HOBBY and THE HISTORY OF CONECA, we encourage you to visit us our main site Here

        The coin is either coated with a thin layer of brown gunk, or was left with a brown stain by some surface contaminant.

            what your seeing is nothing but copper, I did basic cleaning whcih includes alcohol and an extremely soft brush, and used a toothpick for tough contamination. it took 3 months to get this coin back to normal,do remember....this coin was in circulation.

              You can believe what you want about it. I have stated my opinion (based on long experience and having handled many similar coins) and have nothing further to say.
